I ran into a similar problem when I put on a hitch mounted bike rack (Thule). I needed to get a 12" hitch extension so I could fold it up. Something to be aware of, a hitch extension decreases the load capacity by at least 1/3. That wasn't a problem when you're talking about bicycles, but it might be if you plan on carrying a lot of weight on the rack you're talking about.
